ADJUSTMENTS.
Confederate Concert,

The Southern Mothers have ar.
ranged for concert at the Theater
next Tuesday evening, to complete
improvements on the lot In Elmwood
occupied by the Confederate dead.
The programme inclueds fancy dances
by Mrs. Florence Finley Moore's class
OF sixty children, q recitation by Mis-
OWE Mathes, written by that talented
Young local authorees, Mrs. Jennie
Frayser Boyle, with vocal music from
the following amtteur artists: Mes
danes Carnes, Msnsford, Messrs
Ryan, Hutton, Sonfeld, Seward,
Knowlton, Hunter and others. The
musical features of the entertainment
will bs under the direction Of Prof.
Emile Levy. The devotion of the
Mothers for the memory OF the gallant
dead throughout the South, and
those sleeping In Elmwood in part Gu
Ter, 10 beautiful In the extreme. No
effort to protect and beautify their
graves IL considered too great to be
undertaken, and this latest is only ad.
ditional proof OF unswerving fidelity to
cause which now exists only in
memory. The proposed Entertainment
is not alone dependent upon this noble
sentiment for financial success, Blu
rts's more upon its merits as a genuine
attraction worth more than the price
of admission. In giving the direction
to Prof. Levy, the msp ayers have ad-
vauced the guarantee that It will be
first-class and q real treat in every re-
spett. Should the Southern mothers
receive their deserved reward for
faithfulness and earnest effort, there
will hardly be standing room 10 the
Theat on the occasion of the ap-
preaching concert.

THE UNIVERSITY.

II the legislature insists upon attempt
ing every session to cripple the University
by eating into its appropriation, then the
people OF this state might as well make
up their minds to put up with uni
versity which cannot possibly rank with
the first in this country. Here will be
presented the paradox of an educational
institution, amply, munificently endowed
dragging out an existence from hand to
month. because the legislature insists on
training up parasites, which should stand
alone, to cling to it. The Agricultural and
Mechanical college has no more right TO
draw upon the University funds for Its
support than the head of one department
has TO encroach upon the appropriations
for another department.
